5 AM SUNDAY CHANTAL UPDATE
According to the National Hurricane Center, Tropical Storm #Chantal made landfall near Litchfield Beach at 4 am. The first U.S. landfall of the 2025 season…hopefully the last but that's probably a pipe dream.
Winds will gust in the 20s and 30s this morning before subsiding this afternoon. While the heaviest rain will build north and west, a few additional scattered showers and storms could redevelop in the afternoon.

History
Flash floods have long haunted the Texas Hill Country
Four of the worst floods in recent Guadalupe River history have occurred in July.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guadalupe_River_(Texas)
Floods
On July 17, 1987, a sudden flash flood swept a bus full of children away at a low water crossing. The incident occurred near the town of Comfort, Texas, which lies about 50 miles (80 km) northwest of San Antonio. At the time, the Pot O' Gold Ranch, which is situated on the south side of the river about two miles southwest of Comfort, was hosting a church camp, with over 300 children from various churches attending. On the night of July 16 and into the morning of the 17th, almost 12 inches (300 mm) of rain had fallen across the Texas hill country to the north, triggering immense flooding on the Guadalupe River. The camp was scheduled to end on the 17th and the children were going home later that day, but camp supervisors at the ranch decided to evacuate the children early that morning before it rose too high. At around 9 am that morning, the children were loaded into buses and the buses were directed to a low water crossing.
While most of the buses managed to make it across, one bus from the Seagoville Road Baptist Church/Balch Springs Christian Academy in the Dallas suburb of Balch Springs was swept away, along with Pastor Richard Koons, his wife Lavonda, chaperons Allen and Deborah Coalson, and thirty-nine children, ranging in age from 8 to 17. The vehicle had been among the last to leave the camp and proceed alongside the flooded crossing, but when the bus stalled due to rapidly rising waters, Koons and Coalson attempted to get the children to safety by instructing them to form a human chain so that they could reach shore hand in hand. As this was attempted, a sudden rush of water broke the chain and swept them all away. Rescuers from the Texas Department of Public Safety and the US Army's 507th Medical Division managed to save all four adults and 29 of the children via helicopters. The last survivor was rescued from the river around 11:30 am, and by that afternoon two children had been confirmed dead, with eight still missing. The first confirmed fatality was 14-year-old Melanie Finley, who after being lifted from the river by helicopter lost her grip on the rope and fell to her death. The second fatality was 13-year-old Tonya Smith, who was found entangled in barbed wire two miles downstream from where the bus was washed away.[10] Several parents of the children descended on Comfort, most staying at a makeshift shelter set up by town residents and the American Red Cross at the Comfort Elementary School. Six more bodies were recovered from the river on July 18, identified as Lagenia Keenum, 15; Michael Lane, 16;[11] Michael O'Neal, 16; Cindy Sewell, 16; Christopher Sewell, 13; and Stacey Smith, 16 (Sister of Tonya Smith). The following day, the ninth and final body was recovered from the river, identified as 14-year-old Leslie Gossett. The body of 17-year-old John Bankston Jr., the oldest of the 10 victims, was never found.[12]
In the summer of 1988, near the edge of the river and at the foot of the driveway to the Pot O' Gold Ranch, a memorial plaque was dedicated to the children who died as well as those who survived.[13] On April 18, 1989, the story of the deaths and rescues was shown as the pilot episode of Rescue 911, and in 1993 was made into a television movie called The Flood: Who Will Save Our Children? The film followed the experiences of some of the children and their families, and starred Joe Spano as Reverend Richard Koons.
In a 2025 flood, at least 32 people died when 5–10 in (130–250 mm) of rain fell in a three hour period in Kerr County on July 4.[1

The natural disaster in the Texan Hill Country is a tragedy. My prayers are with Texas.
Rainmaker did not operate in the affected area on the 3rd or 4th or contribute to the floods that occurred over the region.
Rainmaker will always be fully transparent.

A review of the timeline of events
Overnight from July 3rd - 4th, moisture surged into the Hill Country from the Pacific as remnants of Tropical Storm Barry moved across the region.
At 1:00 a.m. on July 4th, the National Weather Service (NWS), which we work closely with to maintain awareness of severe weather systems, issued a flash flood warning for San Angelo, Texas. Note, summer convective cloud seeding operations in Texas do not occur during overnight hours.
At 4:00 a.m. on July 4th, the NWS issued a life-threatening emergency warning, and flooding ensued.

Did Rainmaker conduct any operations that could have impacted the floods? No.

This is a fair and well written story about the Texas floods. It has happened before.There were warnings. The NWS offices were staffed. It came overnight on a holiday weekend in a flood prone area. A worst case scenario in terms of timing and magnitude.

Did Rainmaker conduct any operations that could have impacted the floods? No.
The last seeding mission prior to the July 4th event was during the early afternoon of July 2nd, when a brief cloud seeding mission was flown over the eastern portions of south-central Texas, and two clouds were seeded. These clouds persisted for about two hours after seeding before dissipating between 3:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m. CDT. Natural clouds typically have lifespans of 30 minutes to a few hours at most, with even the most persistent storm systems rarely maintaining the same cloud structure for more than 12-18 hours. The clouds that were seeded on July 2nd dissipated over 24 hours prior to the developing storm complex that would produce the flooding rainfall.

Start your week off right with a fun historical fact that you probably didn't know!
Christa Hazel's dad, Wayne Manis, was working at an underground revolutionary left-wing propaganda paper called The Seed in Chicago 1968. At the time, Manis was undercover with the FBI's COINTELPRO unit in Chicago.
His cover was "Wayne Jordan" - newspaper hippie.
Image
Manis' COINTELPRO unit was not sanctioned by J. Edgar Hoover.
He was arrested in a narcotics bust on April 25th 1968. Chicago PD wasn't aware of the FBI's presence, but they figured it out pretty quick, so the State put up an incompetent prosecution and charges against all 25 alleged LSD traffickers were dropped. Just a few weeks later, the famous 1968 riots outside the DNC kicked off which had been stirred up in part by the paper Manis worked at.
Image
Manis admits in his book that he impersonated Abbie Hoffman at at least one violent protest, barking orders at armed revolutionaries, and conspiring with federal agents to suppress the Anti-War Movement's legitimate right to free speech.
Image
In addition to publishing pornographic images, encouraging drug use, featuring cross-dressers on the cover, and preaching violent revolution against "Capitalism," the newspaper, like Christa Hazel today, was splitting hairs about what constitutes porn, and arguing against so-called "censorship."
